658). Some analysts contend that true capitalism exists only when the ownership of both property and the means of production is regarded as an inalienable right of an individual's, and it is not a license granted by government and revokable at whim.

A) is regarded as an inalienable right of an individual's, and it is not

(B) are regarded as individuals' inalienable rights, and that it not be

(C) is regarded as an individual's inalienable right, not as

(D) are regarded as an individual's inalienable rights, not when they are

(E) is regarded as the inalienable rights of an individual, not when it is

OA is C parallel - ..regarded as X not as -Agreed but I chose A since are is correct than is can any one explain whether this sentence has correcct subject verb agreement[/spoiler]

hey one thing A does not contain 'are' it contains 'is'.

second. the subject of the verb 'regarded as' is ownership which is singular. Hence 'is' is correct.
One more reason why i eliminated A is the lack of a noun after poosessive word individual's. for eg: Dog's tail, joseph's bottle etc. we need a noun after the poosessive word.

next as u have mentioned parallel elements make C correct.

Sorry D
the ownership of both property and the means of production are or is regarded as an individual’s inalienable rights,
Please explain why is rights ? and not are rights

Sorry D
the ownership of both property and the means of production are or is regarded as an individual’s inalienable rights,
Please explain why is rights ? and not are rights

1) SOme followed by ....... property and the means of production ARE -- HEnce ARE and not IS (Eliminate A,C,E)
2) SOme ...... when the ownership ..........,. not when they are --- Parallel .. Eliminate B

IMO -- D

my pick is C. C is parallel and idiomatic.
ownership needs a singular verb, so B and D are out.
A and E have unnecessary it, so eliminate them.

IMO C.Subject verb agreement and parallelism.
